When the first name I see is Chuck Palumbo, I'm not gonna read the rest of the list.

So wait. Mark Henry at 18, Big Show at 15, HBK at 56, yet NO HHH or Randy Oton???

B U L L S H I T

These lists are notoriously hard to compile. But that one is just weird. i am pretty sure Bradshaw was above AJ Styles.

How has no one mentioned that Floyd Mayweather is on the list?

I went on to read the second name.

It's Vladimir Kozlov.

This list is a joke.

Wait a fucking minute. Kozlov is on this list but Triple H isn't!?

What the fuck?

Orton's 22.

Triple H not being there is inexcusable, though, considering some of the other names.

(Triple post! Weeee!)

Trips is not on the list, but Kozlov AND Mayweather are? :wtf:

And Styles is 98...

And no Angle

I was thinking about doing it myself, but that's an awesome system. That may have been the system they used, or similar.

We should do it.

When i see Matt Hardy at #5, i basically stop caring.

Go Jimmy Jacobs at 12... With that said, that list is utter shit. Mayweather, but no HHH? Necro Butcher ahead of HBK? I mean, the placement of some people makes sense, others just boggle my mind.

You are a god damn embarrassment to Ultimo Dragon fans everywhere. Hang your head in shame.

:$

I'll admit I had stopped caring a bit by there

I'm glad 911 is still wrestling.

This is pig fucking bullshit. Kozlov makes the list are they that stupid? This is wrong in every since. Kane is not on the list. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

:lol:

The list is not complete horse shit. Some of the placements make perfect sense. Others are just weird.

Noid, rationalize Kozlov being on there and Hunter not.

This list is complete horse shit when you have such a glaring fuck up like that.

Koslov had a bunch of entertaining squashes and a fun match against Festus. Pretty sure he had a watchable match with Khali, as well. Triple H is a worthless fuck.


Here's all the discussion (includes countdown)
http://z11.invisionfree.com/wrestlin...p?showforum=35

Is that like the Bizarro TPWW? Mysterio, Finlay, and a bunch of Japanese wrestlers in the top 10. HHH is shit? Kozlov is entertaining in squash matches?

I'm sorry, but that is the dumbest thing I have ever read anyone type.

I'll accept Triple H bashing. I'll even accept Triple H not being on a top 100 like that. But to include Kozlov and - and this is what REALLY gets me if it were a "smark" list - Cena and NOT Triple H?

What the fuck is wrong with you? Even the most jaded WWE hater would put Triple H on a list over fucking Kozlov.

Entertaining squashes? Like zucchini?

Besides no HHH, here is easy proof the list is bullshit, Shawn Michaels was 56... Who ranked higher?

55. Ian Rotten (6 votes, 342 points)
50. Eddie Kingston (7 votes, 375 points)
41. Todd Morton (7 votes including 2 top 5 votes and 1 top 10 vote, 448 points)
37. 911 (8 votes, 496 points)
34. Festus (10 votes, 521 points)
18. Mark Henry (10 votes including 1 top 10 vote, 657 points)
17. Necro Butcher (11 votes including 2 top 10 votes, 704 points)

lol Festus

HBK seems too high, can't think of anyone else on the list who has shittier offense.

55. Ian Rotten (6 votes, 342 points) - Great on the mat, great at selling, good brawler, watch IWA MS
50. Eddie Kingston (7 votes, 375 points) - Very good when not pretending to be Japanese
41. Todd Morton (7 votes including 2 top 5 votes and 1 top 10 vote, 448 points) - Watch XCW
37. 911 (8 votes, 496 points) - Lucha guy, not the ECW guy
34. Festus (10 votes, 521 points) - People dislike Festus?
18. Mark Henry (10 votes including 1 top 10 vote, 657 points) - He's been a great big man wrestler for the last few years. You're telling me you didn't watch his matches against Hardy and Finlay?
17. Necro Butcher (11 votes including 2 top 10 votes, 704 points) - He's been a great brawler for years

LOL, come on.

I'd call sock, but you're just too thorough, creating a shitty forum and all.

You're HONESTLY saying FESTUS is BETTER than Shawn Michaels in the ring? I'm sorry, I just can't buy someone who's that ass-backwards.

This list is poopy

People dislike Festus?

Seriously, what? Fuck this thread. :mad:

What's with all the HBK ring rats on this board?

HBK mark-ism aside, how can any wrestling fan say that Kozlov and Festus had better matches than Shawn Michaels?? That's ridiculous.

What's with the HBK and Triple H hate?

Scratch that, what's with you blowing Festus and Kozlov?
